American tax officials

Chapter 30 You call this doing someone a favor?

The fact that the islanders had also fallen made Quan Zhitai feel much better. He didn't dare to waste any more words and immediately walked up to David, handing him the phone: "Detective Smith says he wants to talk to you for a bit!"

"Oh?"

David was a little surprised, but still wanted to hear what the other person had to say, so he answered the phone: "Sheriff Smith, right? This is David!"

"Hello, Inspector David. It's like this: I know your IRS is pushing hard against tax evasion. Although I'm not with the IRS, I'm still considered a law enforcement officer, so I naturally strongly support my colleagues in the IRS. I've already instructed Jeon Ji-tae to cooperate fully!"

The voice coming from the other end of the phone silenced David.

He originally thought that the matter between Wade and Balk, coupled with the current situation involving the Chinese, would definitely make the sheriff very unhappy.

Whether the other party is happy or not is still unknown, but they seem to be very sensible!

That's true...

Although Smith held the rank of sheriff, he only acted arrogantly within the small area of ​​the Lake District. He wouldn't dare to go against the IRS.

And this is all happening while the IRS is pushing hard for anti-tax laws!

David collected his thoughts and replied politely, "Then thank you very much for your assistance, Sheriff Smith. However... your men also seem to fall under the tax obligations of the Black Tax Act. I hope that Sheriff Smith can be a little more 'understanding' of the bigger picture!"

At the Bellagio Hotel, Smith's forehead veins bulged and his face showed anger upon hearing this.

Why did he order Jeon Ji-tae to cooperate with the National Taxation Bureau?

It was all to befriend David.

But now, David not only didn't appreciate it, but these aggressive words, though seemingly directed at his subordinates, were actually meant to be directed at him!

He suppressed his anger and said, "Inspector David, we're all law enforcement officers, there's no need for this, is there? Besides, I did you a favor!"

David scoffed and replied, "Heh, I've already come to you in person, is this what you call a favor, Sheriff Smith?"

It seemed that the other party had done him a favor.

In reality, even if he didn't interfere, these Koreans would only have the option of paying taxes under his pressure.

Therefore, this so-called favor was nothing more than being forced to go with the flow.

If the other party really wants to do a favor, they should get those criminal elements who haven't been caught yet to come and pay taxes to them. That would be the real way to do a favor!

Furthermore, besides accepting bribes from Japanese and Koreans, this guy must have received bribes from other powerful groups as well.

Although it is not clear at the moment how much bribe he received, it certainly was not a small amount!

How could David possibly let go of such a lucrative opportunity?

Besides, this guy accepts bribes from all sorts of influential people; he's a complete corrupt official.

It's one thing if David doesn't report him, but it's not too much to collect some of his ill-gotten gains to help build the country and give back to society, is it?

"Inspector David, your IRS has its jurisdiction, but we also have ours. Are you sure you want to do this?"

David understood that Smith's implication was that the IRS, through the Black Tax Act, could now tax them.

But don't forget, the police also have considerable power.

Are you, David, absolutely certain that one day it won't fall into our hands?

However, David was not afraid of this threat at all. He neither accepted bribes nor did he do anything illegal or disorderly.

If the other party really wants to mess with him, it depends on whether the IRS will allow it!

Moreover, as long as he finds Smith and uses his cheat code to scan him, he can obtain evidence of the guy's crimes.

Who knows who will get back at whom by then!

David retorted, "Sheriff Smith, I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. The tax evasion law is like a tight band around my neck, constantly urging me on. I have no choice but to strictly enforce the law!"

"Fine, since you're so determined to go your own way, we'll see!"

At the Bellagio Hotel, Smith slammed his phone to the ground, his face contorted in a grimace.

He had verified that the IRS Lake District branch had no records of Wade and Balker accepting bribes; all of this was entirely in David's hands.

In other words, as long as David says he won't investigate him, then the matter is over.

But David is using some kind of black tax law or national law to pressure him. He just wants to mess with him. Why bother with such a righteous reason?

……

Back at the bar, David handed the phone back to Jeon Ji-tae and said, "You should know what to do, right?"

Jeon Ji-tae was naturally unwilling, but he didn't have the courage to say no, so he could only acquiesce.

"Have your money ready by 9:00 AM tomorrow and come to our National Taxation Bureau, Lake District Branch!"

David knew the other party wouldn't dare to try anything funny, so he didn't say anything more. He patted Nissen on the shoulder and calmly left with Nissen under the gazes of everyone present.

After getting into the Volvo, Nissen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Despite having several previous cases under his belt, he still didn't believe he could handle these Koreans in just one night.

But unexpectedly, under David's offensive, these Koreans, like the islanders of yesterday, were forced to surrender.

Of course, the detailed information David had gathered tonight piqued Nissen's interest once again, but he wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

But then again.

They already have over 60 in tax revenue. If these Koreans come to pay tomorrow, it will be over 70.

During a single assessment period, a team of two auditors managed to secure over $70 in tax revenue. It would be difficult for them not to make a splash!

Looking back on the past few days, first there was the Enkar robbery, then the zero-dollar purchases, the car thefts, and now the South Koreans.

All of these cases were completed cleanly and efficiently.

This gave Nissen a sudden feeling of unreality.

Let's take one case as an example. If it were another investigation team, they would be lucky to solve even one case during the assessment period.

And they actually cracked four cases in just a few days?

Nissen grinned, already looking forward to tomorrow's assessment meeting.

"What are you grinning about?"

In the passenger seat, seeing Nison not starting the car but just grinning foolishly, David glanced at him and asked.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about tomorrow's assessment meeting..."

"oh……"

David smiled and replied, "That's no problem at all. Our group is definitely going to be number one in tax revenue across the entire district. It just depends on how the Main Street Branch and the New City Branch are doing!"
